WJC SF: Jan 3 GDT - Russia vs. USA

[cc]

I'm pretty embarrassed by the fans. This is hockey, not politics. Fans should be cheering for the team that would give the Canadians the best chances at winning the gold.

The Russians are physically dominating the Americans now too.

Sorry, but I just recently stumbled upon this site. I actually plan to spend most of my time in the Bruins forum when all is said and done.

Nice to know you'll still be around when your team loses at the WJHC, though.

Hey guess what new guy, I agree the Russian team is better than the Canadian team and should win - unless Pogge steals the game. I expect the Russians to win, Canada is not as good as they are this year. Earning silver is already an unexpected acheivement for the Canadian side.

Expensive dirt, if I thought it was just a case of Van fans booing in the spirit of good natured fan, I would agree with you......the undercurrent is much uglier then that........

And judging by the amount of others that agree with me here and even comments by Gord Miller, I think it is obvious that idiots are ruling the roost in GM Place!!

Go Russia!!!

I hope things don't get out of control... JJ has a temper.

Well the russians did the canadian team a favor.

What favour?

 

[HSHS]

I guess I'm the only one who heard the cheering when Skille made it 2-1. This booing/cheering thing is getting blown out of proportion. The fans are boing Johnson but aside from that they're just cheering goals, big hits and good plays. Russia happens to have had a lot more of those than the US in this game.

Its hard to blow 99 to 1 out of proportion...

Well maybe its 100 to 0 after that hit!

 

[GKJ]

5-1 Russia.




I guess we shouldn't have tied the Swiss

 

[VladNYC*]

WOW! Look at these Russians hit! Oh boy i can't wait to see the Russia Canada game!

 

[Kramerica2]

Those insecurities will cause sleepless nights.

eh, I don't think so. But, I guess you can't dispute what I just said.

 

[tape-2-tape]

All I know is this will be the first time I'll ever be cheering for a non North American team in the final. I hope Russia kicks your a$$!!!

 

[naihlflames]

The Russians are physically dominating the Americans now too.

And the crowd is cheering a dirty hot in the corner.

 

[Slick Nick]

Without refs help.. russia would have kicked US 15-0

 

[Bloggins]

I hope things don't get out of control... JJ has a temper.

No!!!!!!! Get outta here! Really

 

[Bryanbryoil]

No pride for this US team. I've said it before, IMO the US lacks national pride. Canadians,Russians,etc. have pride to give it their all, this team lacks it in droves.

 

[Checker*]

The Russian are getting cocky and running around trying to run over every US player on the ice.

I hope Jack Johnson gives the Pejorative Slured fans a real reason to boo him, soon

 

[reidy]

Dare I root for Canada Thursday? I think I will. Imagine that.

 

[MsMeow]

5-1 Russia, I'm loving it. All the hype of the American team and they'll be going for bronze.

 

[Petey Knights]

I would absolutely love to see the Americans drop the mitts and teach these guys a lesson if it continues to escalate. I can't stand Euros who run around with a chip on their shoulder because they know they can't be touched.

 

[leaflover]

Gonna be a wild finish to this game.

 

[creative giant*]

I just don't understand why Americans care what Canadians think.

And now Schremp takes a penalty.

 

[Bob Clarke Fan Club]

This game reminds me of when Appollo Creed fought Drago in Rocky 3. Team Russia is scary.

 

[Slay]

Undrafted Kulemin and Shirokov dominate this 1st round defence.

 

[Puck33]

And the "nah nah nah" song means?....

Canadians are p***** plain and simple some stuff doesn't change, class just isn't their thing up there.

 

[reidy]

Haha, Robbie Schremp's a tough guy now? Oops.
